So the latest dust up that’s putting the right and the alt-rights underwear in a bunch is the comment Hillary made... “Basket of Deplorables”. Looking on twitter… seeing it trending all day, reading the uproar and the outrage about it is discouraging. What’s also discouraging is that people are strategically quoting/retweeting/sharing only the 1 out of the 2 baskets she was talking about.
People need to know she spoke of two baskets. One basket is full of racists, white supremacists, misogynists, homophobes, Islamaphobes... and Trump is giving them a voice. Those people (including Trump) ARE indeed deplorable and Hillary Clinton needs to make NO apologies for saying that! In contrast, she spoke of the other “basket” that is of full of people that are just are worried about their lives, their futures and are desperate for change. Hillary Clinton clearly said those are the people we have to understand and empathize with.
So the ones that are getting all hot and bothered must indeed be a flaming racist or fall into that basket of deplorables for any one of those other reasons. If they are not a white supremacist or a xenophobe... then they wouldn’t be upset. Hillary Clinton needs to OWN what she said and not back down, because she FINALLY getting real is speaking the truth. I guess the truth hurts?
